+    <p><a href="https://github.com/iojs/io.js">io.js</a> is a JavaScript platform build on <a href="http://code.google.com/p/v8/">Chrome's V8 runtime</a>. This project began as a fork of <a href="https://nodejs.org/">Joyent's Node.js™</a> and is compatible with
+      the <a href="https://www.npmjs.org/">npm</a> ecosystem.</p>
+    <p>Why? io.js aims to provide faster and predictable release cycles. It currently merges in the latest language, API and performance improvements to V8 while also updating libuv and other base libraries.</p>
+    <p>This project aims to continue development of io.js under an "
+      <a href="https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/GOVERNANCE.md#readme">open governance model</a>" as opposed to corporate stewardship.</p>
+
+    <h2 id="version-1-0-x-">Version 1.0.x?</h2>
+    <p>io.js has moved to <a href="http://semver.org/">Semver</a>. The choice to release as 1.0.x was not to signify
+    that io.js should be considered production-ready, but because it was a significant enough release
+    from Node.js™ to warrant a major version increment.</p>
+    <p>Our <a href="https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/CHANGELOG.md">CHANGELOG</a> for v1.x provides a <a href="https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/CHANGELOG.md#summary-of-changes-from-nodejs-v01035-to-iojs-v100">summary of changes from Node.js v0.10.35 to io.js v1.0.x</a>.</p>
